Most of you are familiar with the ongoing dispute between USA Hockey and the women’s national team.
Tonight, before a NWHL playoff game between the Boston Pride and Connecticut Whale, the Pride demonstrated solidarity with the striking women of the national team.
From Cornelius, who is at the game, the Pride kicked things off by inviting women’s national team (USWNT) players from the Whale to come to center ice, then invited USWNT players from the Pride to join them.
This was done in place of announcing the starting lineups for each team.
Players exchanged fist bumps with their national teammates as they stood at center ice.
